العودة إلى الحياة بعد رحلة علمية استكشافية في صحراء #الربع_الخالي رحلة هدفها هو فهم سلوك الميكروبات وعلم الميكروبيوم في تلك الصحراء الشاسعه الضخمة الغريبة! ماهي هذه المكيروبات وكيف تعيش وكيف تأقلمت مع الظروف الصعبة المستحيلة؟ تجربة لم أرى ولن أرى لها مثيل التفاصيل لاحقاً

PhD students, don't worry. Technologies, trends, and even whole fields come and go. A PhD makes you an expert in a field but, more importantly, teaches you how to become an expert. Once you know that you can learn anything, you can adapt to major disruptions in your field.

Finally arrived in Japan for #biohackjp (first time after the long COVID break). Still waiting for my flight to Tokamatsu, seems I will arrive 2 hours late for the symposium; hope I am still let in!

We have brought together about 25 people for an H3ABioNet African reference graph/pangenome and T2T hackathon in Cape Town. This week we will work with the HPRC team on long read data to build an African reference.

New work by my former student (now Prof) Azza Althagafi on phenotype-based prioritization of genetic variants for #RareDisease The work demonstrates how neurosymbolic AI can be used in domains like #RareDisease with little training data biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Really happy to host Jiaoyan Chen at KAUST - learned a lot about #neurosymbolic AI on the #SemanticWeb, #ontology embeddings, and using #LLM for knowledge engineering.

We recently wrote a survey on #ontology #embedding. Great contributions from Robert Hoehndorf Olga and Fernando from CBRC KAUST , @lawhy_AI and Ian Horrocks. #knowledgegraphs #survey #KnowledgeRepresentation. With methods, applications and system (mOWL). arxiv.org/abs/2406.10964

Happy to be at #NeSy2024 in Barcelona, just opened by Ernesto Jimenez-Ruiz. First session on #XAI just starting.

What can life sciences do for neuro-symbolic AI? Excited for the #bioinformatics-related keynote by Catia Pesquita at #NeSy2024 - starting soon!

At the #nesy2024 keynote today, Catia Pesquita highlights how medical and biological research was one main driver in the developments in logic and AI throughout history - in the words of Galen, "That the best doctor is also a philosopher" #nesy2024

Ontologies model a consensus, not reality. (Catia Pesquita at #NeSy2024)

2nd day of #NeSy2024 is about to start, with a session on neurosymbolic languages. Will be great to see how this work can contribute to reproducibility of NeSy research and experiments.

🧬 Proud to share our new paper! A complete genome assembly from Saudi Arabia (KSA001), freely available to all. Special shoutout to Maxat Kulmanov for leading the bioinformatics. Also hard work to get this IRB-approved nature.com/articles/s4159…
